Cannot disable auto-tracking of cycling

[KurtToronto]

Samsung Galaxy S24, Android 15, One UI version 7.0
Inspire 3, 63.20001.214.24
Fitbit app version 4.42.2
Strava version 412.15
Settings/Preferences/Activity/Auto-track activities/Outdoor biking, Aerobic workouts, Other workouts are OFF

Yesterday morning my Inspire 3 automatically downloaded and update. When out on a bike ride it automatically began to track my bike ride. I terminated the tracking, as I use Strava to track my cycling. It kept automatically picking up the ride after I terminated the tracking. When I completed my ride it duplicated all of the legs in the Strava app, which I then had to delete. While tracking, there was a fitbit notification Connected GPS is running...

I've checked the settings and manually turned off auto-track of outdoor biking, but when I went out for a ride this morning it began tracking again.

Does anyone know what else I can do? I prefer to use my fitbit to check my heart rate and the time.

Many thanks,

Kurt

Hello @KurtToronto and welcome to the Community.  That firmware update included a feature the will Auto-start the Exercise app.  This is different from the auto-track feature you disabled.  This setting is on six shortcuts: walk, run, bike, elliptical, rowing, and spinning.  Here's how to turn it off:

• Swipe left right on your Inspire 3 screen to the Exercise app
• Select the Bike shortcut
• Swipe up on the tiny "^" to go to the Bike settings, the section that includes things like Set a Goal
• Look for Auto-start and toggle it off

Depending on your activity habits, you might want to turn this feature off in all six shortcuts.  A short walk that isn't exercise might trigger the Walk shortcut.  Some daily activities have accelerometer patterns that can activate the Exercise app for the totally wrong activity.
